We call in a generic way <includeonly>[[plastic resin]]</includeonly><noinclude>plastic resin</noinclude> the plurality of <includeonly>materials</includeonly><noinclude>[[materials]]</noinclude> characterized by injection mold processing (some of which, historically used for fountain pens, have been reported in the side table). In fact also more traditional materials such as [[celluloid]] or [[galalith]] are plastic resins, but we will discuss briefly in this section only these new ones that could processed by injection mold, that were used in fountain pen productions from the 40s until around the 60s.

Furthermore some plastics could lend to the creation of mixed materials of considerable interest. Among them probably the most interesting was the ''[[Makrolon]]'' (the name used by Bayer) version introduced in [[1966]] by [[Lamy]] for his famous [[Lamy 2000]] model, a mixed fiber glass polycarbonate with high mechanical strength, and a particular black/gray color coming from the weaving of the glass fibers.

Nowadays almost all pens are made in some kind of plastic resin, more or less shiny or resistant depending on the implementation. The evolution of technology also allows the creation of colorful plastics, whose brilliance and variety of colors has little to envy to [[celluloid]]. However, all of these are fully automated industrial productions, with a very low production cost, regardless of how someone can call them "precious". The celluloid long production times and the impossibility of its processing by injection mold, made it a much more expensive material, and this is also why there was a return to it in recent years, as a distinctive feature of some luxury pens.
